- Plants need carbon dioxide. Plants do need carbon dioxide (CO2) to live. Plants and forests remove and store away huge amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere each year.
- Global warming isn't real as it's still cold. Global warming is causing the Earth’s average surface temperature to increase. This is not only making heatwaves and droughts more likely but it’s also causing changes to our natural climate systems.
- Climate change is a future problem. This is no longer an excuse not to act on climate change and push the burden onto future generations. Last year, the world’s leading climate scientists warned we only have 12 years to limit global warming to a maximum of 1.5C and avoid climate breakdown.

- It's the sun. While it is true that varying intensity of energy from the sun has driven long-term climate changes like ice ages in the distant past, the sun can not explain the recent spike in warming.
- Carbon dioxide levels are tiny. They can't make a difference. It's true, carbon dioxide (CO2) makes up a tiny fraction of the atmosphere, less than a tenth of a percent.
- Scientists disagree on the cause of climate change. Contrary to popular belief, scientists do not disagree that climate change is happening and that it is caused by humans.
- The climate has always changed. It's natural. No scientist will disagree that the climate changes naturally. It always has and it always will. What makes the recent changes stand out is the unprecedented pace of change.
Jun 4, 2024 · Myth #4: An increase in cold snaps shows climate change is not real. This statement confuses weather and climate, which are two different things. Weather is the day-to-day atmospheric conditions in a location and climate is the long-term weather conditions in a region. So, there could still be a cold snap while the general trend for the planet ...
On the other hand, studies predict that if we don't act on climate change by 2050, the global economy could shrink by 18% because of the damage caused by natural disasters and extreme temperatures ...
Stage One: Climate Change is a hoax. Earth isn’t warming. A study from Pew Research Center last October reported that 20% of US adults believe there is no evidence of global climate change. But the evidence is abundant. Global temperatures are rising, with the greatest increase happening in the last 35 years.
